Central Paraguay walked to North beach of Paraguay river where 50 yards SE from Ferry Terminal. There is a wide mud beach extending along the river with some vegetation covering. kicked up flycatchers were perched on the mud foraging off the surface. Also some other tyrant - similar to a vermillion crowned flycatcher but I had no birds and did not ID. These were no sandpipers visible, but at a proper time of year it should be productive. Stayed for only 15 minutes and then returned home. Temp below 15°C, slight wind, heavy overcast. 22 July 1 Km South of Tobati, Dept.
